SAFETY IN RECREATIONAL WATER ACTIVITIES REGULATION 2024 - REG 24

24 Additional information required for dive safety log—dive tables

(1) This section applies if the diving activity includes a dive carried out using dive tables.

(2) The dive safety log for the diving activity must also state, for each diver who participates in the dive—

(a) the repetitive dive group for the diver; and

(b) if the repetitive dive group and surface interval result in a repetitive factor for the diver—the surface interval and repetitive factor for the diver.

(3) In this section—

"repetitive dive group" means a letter of the alphabet or number, given by dive tables, that represents an estimate of the amount of residual nitrogen in a diver’s tissues immediately on surfacing at the end of a dive.

Note—

Some dive tables refer to ‘pressure group’ instead of repetitive dive group.

"repetitive factor" means a letter of the alphabet or number, given by dive tables, that represents an estimate of the amount of residual nitrogen in a diver’s tissues as decided by the repetitive dive group and the surface interval.

"residual nitrogen" means nitrogen, in excess of the amount normally present in a diver’s tissues, that is dissolved in the diver’s tissues.

"surface interval" means the time a diver spends on the surface between 2 successive dives.
